Sketchup on OpenBSD

[J65nko]

Has anyone had success with using Sketchup for the Web on OpenBSD? I just created an free account and after logging in I received an error message

Sorry, it looks like we're having some internal issues.
Our team has been notified.

Both Firefox and Chrome give the same error message. Of course it really could be something internal, but I just wonder.

Some system info:

Hey. It's working fine here (amd64 6.5-current, Chrome 73.0.3683.103).
It might be worth trying to change your user agent. Mine is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.110 Safari/537.36

Thanks for the info that it is working inside the Chrome browser on OpenBSD.

It is still not working here. Indeed it could have something to do with the user agent setting. When I get the error message and use the "arrow back" I get the following URL:

https://www.sketchup.com/download/my-apps?from=personal&os=mac

So OpenBSD is being perceived as Apple MAC.

It is kind of working on my Lenovo Android tablet, but when I try to type a dimension, the Android software keyboard does not pop up .....

Ibara, I used https://www.howtogeek.com/113439/how...ny-extensions/ to change the user agent to yours. Made no difference in both Firefox and Chrome, still the same error.

Maybe I should make an image of my old Windows 95 system that has a working shareware CAD program and run it in a VM .......

Did you checked whether user agent was indeed changed? You can use DuckDuckGo for that. On DDG just type "my user agent". Maybe you need to delete some cookies from browser after changing user agent?

[J65nko]

Yes, the user agent was changed. I checked that. Deleting cookies also did not make a difference. But in the Firefox web console I see this error:

uncaught exception: out of memory
TypeError: ServiceWorker script at https://app.sketchup.com/service-worker.js?version=2019-04-17--21-22-06--3840ec4 for scope https://app.sketchup.com/ encountered an error during installation.

Chrome gives this error in the Web IDE console:

webapp.js.jgz:1 Uncaught RangeError: WebAssembly.Memory(): could not allocate memory
    at webapp.js.jgz:1

Maybe I should try 6.5 or current.

Oh! If you're using chrome you can try the flag to disable webassembly --js-flags=--noexpose-wasm. It's turned off by default in 6.5 and -current.
